Increase to Gate Access Fees

At the Palmetto Dunes Property Owners Association’s September Board Meeting, the Board approved the Finance Committee’s recommendation regarding pass fees. There will be no increase in the daily commercial pass fees, which are generally a direct pass-through to the property owner. Annual commercial decal fees will increase effective January 1, 2024. Rental pass fees will increase effective October 1, 2024, and will include additional tiers.

The Finance Committee made this recommendation based on a review of the gate access fee structure, how the fee changes would affect the Association’s financial condition, as well as the impact on property owners. The evaluation included a review of other communities and resorts in the Lowcountry.

The Association evaluates these fee structures at least every five years and strives to provide owners who rent their property on the short-term rental market with at least a one-year notice before an increase becomes effective.

If you have any questions about the access fee increase, please contact the Association’s Controller, Matt Nemes, at mnemes@pdpoa.org.
